scilab -link <objects>: Is used to produce a local scilex (executable code of Scilab) linked with the additional files given by the user in <objects>. If, in the list of object files, some names are known from SCIDIR/routines/default, then the scilex default files are omitted and replaced with the given ones . This command also produces a xscilab script, which when called will ran the new generated scilex file.

For example:

        
scilab -link  C/interf.o C/evol.o C/bib.a
         
        

will create a new scilex file in which the default interf.o file will be replaced by C/interf.o.
